Isabelle Balance Changes

Isabelle throws out a lot of forward airs to zone, while forward tilt is a little too risky to reach for.

Balance Philosophy

Each mid-tier character receives a buff and a nerf: shave off the most unfair part of the kit while lessening the character's biggest weakness.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

  1. Forward air

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    End lag increased to 19 frames.
    Current issue
    It is used heavily to zone opponents out.

  2. Forward tilt

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment
    End lag reduced to 22 frames.
    Current issue
    The move is a little risky to use.
